Carnage: A succulent Chinese meal, Mr Rent-a-Kill and the Australian Manson murders
by Mark DapinMillions have been entertained by the viral video of a man being arrested after a &‘succulent Chinese meal&’. But when Mark Dapin investigated, it emerged that this man's story went to the heart of the Australian underworld. A true crime cult classic in the making. Whether you know it as the &‘succulent Chinese meal&’ video, or &‘democracy manifest&’, chances are you have seen the video of baritone larrikin Jack Karlson getting arrested outside a Brisbane Chinese restaurant in 1991. The Guardian called it &‘perhaps the pre-eminent Australian meme of the last 10 years&’. When Karlson called crime writer Mark Dapin out of the blue, though, Dapin hadn&’t heard of him. But there was enough that intrigued him about this theatrical outlaw to continue the conversation. Over the following months emerged a dark and complex past. It turned out that Karlson had been in the background of many notorious incidents in late-twentieth century Australian crime, from collaborating with infamous prison-playwright Jim McNeil to befriending hitman Christopher Dale Flannery (Mr Rent-a-Kill). But most shockingly of all, Karlson&’s life story led Dapin to shed new light on a number of unsolved murders, by two serial killers.The result is an extraordinary, deeply revealing portrait of Australian crime from the 60s to the 2010s – a portrait of carnage. &‘Mark Dapin could never be accused of glorifying crime, but he is guilty as sin for understanding it. Inhabited by flawed humans, filled with violence, humour, tears and dreams, Carnage is a classic Australian crime story.&’ Gary Jubelin, author of I Catch Killers 'True crime at its grim and richly entertaining best, and – let&’s face it – its truest.&’ Robert Drewe, author of The Shark Net &‘If ever there was a book crammed with colourful villains who are &“mad, bad and dangerous to know,&” it&’s definitely Mark Dapin&’s extraordinary book, Carnage.&’ Kate McClymont, author of He Who Must Be Obeid &‘Carnage is a window into Australian mayhem, killingly funny and beautifully told. Dapin finds pathos in a twisted world.&’ Matthew Spencer, author of Black River &‘Carnage begins by probing what seems a minor curiosity – an internet meme centred on a colourful character – then takes a turn into the lives of traumatised youths hurled without care or thought into brutalising reformatories. From there they graduate to rorts, robberies, violence. Bleak lives interspersed with occasional forays into squaresville – spouses, kids, even jobs – and attempts at betterment via theatre and literature. A unique, deeply felt take on the Australian underworld.&’ Peter Doyle, author of Crooks Like Us &‘The moment I start reading anything by Mark Dapin I&’m captivated, intrigued and engaged for the entire journey. There is no finer writer documenting the history and characters of Australian criminality.&’ Stuart Coupe

The Whores' Asylum
by Katy DarbyA thrilling, gothic debut sure to appeal to fans of Sarah Waters and Susanna Clarke.Oxford, 1887: Even as Victoria celebrates the fiftieth year of her reign, a stone's throw from the calm cloisters and college spires lies Jericho, a maze of seedy streets and ill-lit taverns, haunted by drunkards, thieves and the lowest sort of brazen female as ever lifted her petticoats.When Stephen Chapman, a brilliant young medical student, is persuaded to volunteer at a shelter devoted to reforming the fallen women of Oxford, his closest friend Edward feels a strange sense of dread.

Languages of the Unheard: Why Militant Protest is Good for Democracy
by Stephen D'Arcy“What we must see,” Martin Luther King once insisted, “is that a riot is the language of the unheard.” In this new era of global protest and popular revolt, Languages of the Unheard draws on King’s insight to address a timely and controversial topic: the ethics and politics of militant resistance. Using vivid examples from the history of militancy—including armed actions by Weatherman and the Red Brigades, the LA Riots, the Zapatista uprising, the Mohawk land defence at Kanesatake, the Black Blocs at summit protests, the occupations of Tahrir Square and Zuccotti Park, the Indigenous occupation of Alcatraz, the Quebec Student Strike, and many more—this book will be of interest to democratic theorists and moral philosophers, and practically useful for protest militants attempting to grapple with the moral ambiguities and political dilemmas unique to their distinctive position.

The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals: The Expression Of The Emotions In Man And Animals (Cambridge Library Collection - Darwin, Evolution And Genetics Ser.)
by Charles DarwinPublished in 1872, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals was a book at the very heart of Darwin's research interests - a central pillar of his 'human' series. This book engaged some of the hardest questions in the evolution debate, and it showed the ever-cautious Darwin at his boldest. If Darwin had one goal with Expression, it was to demonstrate the power of his theories for explaining the origin of our most cherished human qualities: morality and intellect. As Darwin explained, "He who admits, on general grounds, that the structure and habits of all animals have been gradually evolved, will look at the whole subject of Expression in a new and interesting light."
